I'm not just a director

Chapter 169 Ready to boot!
The All-China Federation of Trade Unions Art Troupe is the only national-level comprehensive professional art troupe in the national trade union system.

The main responsibility is to publicize the line, guidelines, and policies in the form of literature and art around the overall situation of the country's work and the main tasks of the trade union work.

There are many similar groups, such as the well-known Broadcasting Art Troupe, where actors such as Feng Gong, Niu Qun, and Li Jindou are all here.

There are also the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department, the Air Force Political Drama Troupe, and the Second Artillery Art Troupe.

An art troupe or theater troupe holding an iron rice bowl is a very good unit in this day and age.

It's just that with the development of the times, young men and women who have just graduated from colleges may not necessarily recognize the units with iron rice bowls.

After all, after getting a little fame, you can make a lot of money by going out to pick up commercial performances.

……

The news that Jiang Pei'an came to cast the cast on behalf of the China Film Group was widely circulated in the art troupe.

Yang Simin, the deputy head of the troupe, personally led the reception and called all the actors in the troupe over.

Except for the ones who didn't play the mission, almost all of them are here.

It can be seen that the art troupe attaches great importance to this matter.

Of course, it's just that Jiang Pei'an doesn't have such a big face, and the main reason is that he is backed by the behemoth of China Film.

There are about 20 people sitting in the conference room, including old, middle-aged and young people.

Most of them are raw faces, and Jiang Pei'an can vaguely identify a few people relying on the memory of later generations.

For example, Sharina who is more than ten years younger.

This drama is very good, especially the wonderful performance in "The World".

Regarding Teacher Sarina, Jiang Pei'an suddenly remembered a sentence passed down from generation to generation.

Sarina is actually the same age as Yi Nengjing, and Yin Nengjing is eight months older than her.

This is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, Lao Guo is also the same age as Lin Zhiying.

Chen Jianbing and Longrich are also the same age.

These visual differences have a lot to do with the characters the actors usually portray.

Therefore, directors generally ask the actor's "visual age" when casting roles, and rarely look at the real age.

Of course, the little black fat man appeared so extreme only when he met Lin Zhiying's baby face.

Zeng Li in the audience looked a little unnatural and surprised when he saw Jiang Pei'an.

But soon he obediently sat down in his seat with his head down.

Jiang Pei'an saw her immediately on the stage.

I have to say that it is very appropriate for Zeng Li to play the role of a female officer.

What is this girl doing with her head down?
hide from me?
For Jiang Pei'an, the young actors are very familiar, but the older ones are somewhat unfamiliar.

"Such a young director? A casting director from China Film Group, right?"

"Is Yang Tuan a little too anxious to express himself? This director seems unreliable."

"Jiang Pei'an? You've heard of this name before."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Yang Simin introduced with a smile:
"This is Director Jiang Pei'an, some comrades may not know Director Jiang yet.

The "Hurricane Rescue" in the Spring Festival file is Director Jiang's work, and he is also the screenwriter.

[-] million... dollars at the global box office! "

Hearing Yang Simin's words, there was a commotion in the audience.

Even though some people have already learned the total box office of "Taken" from the media.

But when I heard it again at this time, I couldn't help feeling dizzy.

That's $[-] million at the box office!

This is much higher than the box office of those well-known veteran directors in China!

Seeing the enthusiasm in the young man's eyes, the older generation of actors couldn't help shaking their heads.

This world is getting more and more incomprehensible. A few years ago there was Feng Xiaogang, and now there is Jiang Pei'an.

A movie with a box office of [-] million US dollars is scary, but what about the quality?
However, they also understood why Yang Simin was so interested in Jiang Pei'an's casting.

The old comrades have worked hard and acted in dramas all their lives, and they survived with the little allowance salary from the finance and unit every year.

But the future acting career of young comrades has just begun.

A director with box office guarantees might be able to take these young actors to heights they couldn't reach.

In terms of fame and treatment...

The old comrades are relieved after they have figured it out.

After Jiang Pei'an interacted with the people in the audience, he went straight to the topic and selected five young actors.

Zeng Li, who kept her head down, was among them.

The others are just foils, after all, Yang Simin has engaged in such a big fight.

If he only fell in love with Zeng Li, he would be too purposeful and too disrespectful to the art troupe.

What follows is a non-stop trial play.

The overall quality of the actors in the art troupe is very good, but it may be due to the frequent performances that the performances are exaggerated.

Zeng Li, who just joined the troupe, is fine, retaining the style she had when she was an actor.

However, in Jiang Pei'an's eyes, it was still jerky.

But these can be changed through training, so it is not a big problem.

"Director Jiang, can I...not act?"

After the audition, Zeng Li secretly went to Jiang Pei'an and said.

Jiang Pei'an frowned slightly:
"why?"

"The troupe and the troupe still have performance tasks, and I haven't rehearsed yet.

No, don't want to miss the show. "

Don't want to appear in a movie because of the performance in the group?
Jiang Pei'an didn't know what to say.

But after seeing the persistence in Zeng Li's eyes, Jiang Pei'an didn't make things difficult for her.

"Okay, I won't force you if you don't want to play the role, you should think about it first, and call me when you figure it out."

Jiang Pei'an sighed, turned and left.

Zeng Li pursed her lips subconsciously, a little aggrieved, but a little angry.

……

"Director Jiang, have you finished all the auditions? Hehe, is there only one actor for the crew?

In fact, there are other excellent actors in our troupe, don't you want to watch them anymore? "

Yang Simin's office, she said while making tea.

"We don't need many actors for this movie, and this time we are here to choose the heroine."

Well, one of the heroines is also the heroine.

Hearing this, Yang Simin's eyes lit up and said:
"That's really great. Which comrade was chosen?"

"Zeng Li."

"Zeng Li is a good girl. She graduated from a major in Chinese opera. She looks good and her acting skills are good."

Yang Simin smiled happily.

Jiang Pei'an sighed and said:
"I have the same opinion as Yang Tuan, but... Zeng Li seems unwilling to act."

"Don't want to?"

Yang Simin frowned and said:

"Maybe she also has her own concerns. What about the other auditions?"

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"The other actors are also excellent, but Zeng Li's performance and temperament are more suitable for this role.

Forget it, this kind of thing can't be forced, thank you Tuan Yang for your strong support for my work.

I'll go to the air politics troupe next door to have a look..."

"Farewell Director Jiang, Comrade Zeng Li has just joined our regiment, so he may have other concerns in his mind.

I'm going to do her ideological work. It's not easy to find a suitable actor, and it's also troublesome to find a suitable actor. Don't you think so? "

Yang Simin said quickly.

"Well, okay, but Yang Tuanni should not force her, this kind of thing is not sweet, right?"

Yang Simin smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Comrade Zeng Li is still young, and his thinking and cognition are immature. Director Jiang, give me three days, and I promise to give you an answer."

"Then trouble Yang Tuan."

Jiang Pei'an smiled brightly.

……

Jiang Pei'an drove back and received a call from Zeng Li before he got home.

The girl said angrily:
"Director Jiang, didn't you say you won't force me!"

"I didn't force you."

It was indeed not him, it was Yang Simin.

"But our leader talked to me and said that I don't need to rehearse recently, and I will do my best to serve you well and understand the role thoroughly."

"Oh, I guess Yang Tuan also thinks you are more suitable for this role."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"I, I...you send me a copy of the script."

Xiao Mian, I can't cure you anymore!

The heroine on the train was Gao Yuanyuan, and the heroine of the officer was Zeng Li.

There is also a role of a doctor...

Jiang Pei'an has already been scouted for this role, the researcher in a white coat, Wang Jingsong!
Uncle Tazhai!

After preparing these, you can basically start the machine!
